Just a quick note for those having trouble getting animations to play when using the Play Animation action, here's how to make sure it works with legacy animation clips or clips you make using the Animation tab in Unity.
1. Select the object you are about to animate.
2. Add the Animation component before animating or adding animation clips
That's it. If you don't, it will add the AnimaTOR component, and when you try to play it back, realising you should have the Animation component and delete the Animator and add the Animation component, even hooking up the clips, and Playmaker will even find the animations on the object it still wont work. You just have to do steps 1 and 2 first and you wont have any trouble.
Hope this helps someone, or maybe just a legacy solution for me in the future for me when I forget again
